im a bit disapointed with the deckplate mod. i did mine about 2 months ago and have not got better gas mileage. It has pretty much stayed exactly the same. ive probably run 6 tanks of gas or so and have ranged from 16 mpg up to 17.8 at the best tank. Which I was getting in the 17s all the time before. I fill up at the same station every time as well. I guess i will be changing the fuel filter, plugs and wires and see if i can get it to jump up any.
city driving it will decrease and if you have a heavy foot like me it def will decrease

Why doesn't True Flow make a filter for all our 3.slows? There just as many 2nd gen trucks with a 3.0 as there are 2.7's and 3.4's. I settled for a K&N because they did not make one, but if they would make one anytime soon I would totally buy one.

yeah 4" is the way to go. Some guys run 6" but I think its to big. I would stick with the 4", I picked up mine at the marina for about $9. Best mod ever for under $10. lol. :bigclap:

Aloha! This is Hunter66. Hope all of You 4 Wheelers are Having a Great Time Going 4 Wheeling. It Sure looks Like FUN. I am Almost 70 so I Settled for a SR5, 3.4L EXTRA CAB, 5 SPEED 2X4. Just Drive on the road . Here in Hawaii the Gas is So Expensive, But my choice of Getting a 2 Wheel Drive has really Paid off for me. I get between 25 to 29 MPG with the Air on All of the time. The 3.4L engine has just been a Blessing for me for 16 Years, Very Reliable plus Has A lot of Get up and Go. I Feel for all of you truckers that are getting 16 to 17 MPG. But I guess that is what you Have to Sacrifice for Off Roading.
May You All Be Richly Blessed, in All that You Do!
